10 Rules that All Diets Follow Rule 2: No Processed Carbs. #NutritionRules https://www.sandandsteelfitness.com/nutrition-alexandria-va-10-rules-that-all-diets-follow/ Okay, so no added sugars you have that much. But what about rule number two? Rule two is very simple. Avoid all refined or processed carbs. So not all bad carbs are sugar. There are other bad carbs. Those are your refined or processed carbs. Carbs like flour, sugar alcohols, and other processed carb like pastas and muffins. Carbs that get digested very quickly, creating spikes in your blood sugar. Blood sugar spikes make losing weight very difficult. So you're when you're thinking about eating healthy carbs. Think complex slow digesting carbs things like mixed green rice and quinoa. These kinds of foods are often very high in nutrition. Slow digesting carbs tend to have lots of micronutrients. They help our body generate energy through the day. They help increase protein absorption, etc. Highly processed grains don't generally have these properties as the nutrients have been milled out as part of the manufacturing process. In general, you get very little benefit from fast digesting carbs other than a bigger belly :-). So avoid refined or processed carbs wherever you can.
